For seven seasons from 2009 to 2015 (with a special reunion in 2020), we were invited to the town of Pawnee, Indiana to see the comical lives of government employees in the NBC sitcom "Parks and Recreation."
We were introduced to the passionate and headstrong Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), the tough but lovable Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman), the dependable friend Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones), the ideas man Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari), the morbidly deadpan April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza), the childlike goofball Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt), the adorably geeky Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott), the incredibly chipper Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe), the office punching bag Jerry/Larry/Terry/Garry Gergich (Jim O'Heir), the classy and successful Donna Meagle (Retta), along with loads of other quirky and hilarious Pawnee residents.
After a wobbly first season, the show invested more deeply in its world and characters, leading to one of the sweetest, kindest, and still amazingly funny television shows ever made. But of the 126 produced episodes, which ones were the most effective? Read on to discover the 50 best "Parks and Rec" episodes, ranked.
